The Hulk family might be sitting out the first round, but Marvel has something much bigger waiting in the wings. A new report reveals why the studio is holding back its gamma-powered heroes for the ultimate showdown.
MCU Hulks could have the most exciting future after Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel insider MyTimeToShineHello revealed on X that “there is no Hulk in Doomsday but there will be MANY Hulks in Secret Wars.”
The scooper shared this update while responding to another report about the franchise. That earlier report from Blue Minutes claimed Tatiana Maslany will return as She-Hulk in Avengers: Doomsday. According to that scoop, Maslany will make a cameo appearance and end up in Greenland.
However, MyTimeToShineHello’s latest claim shifts the real Hulk action to Secret Wars instead. The insider’s tease suggests Marvel Studios plans to feature multiple Hulk characters in the crossover event. This aligns with previously leaked concept art that depicted Battleworld with a dedicated Hulk village. The artwork surfaced online in March 2026 and generated significant excitement among fans.
The MCU currently has several Hulk characters available for such a storyline. Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner remains the most prominent, having appeared across multiple Avengers films. Tatiana Maslany debuted as Jennifer Walters in the Disney Plus series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Meanwhile, Skaar, the son of Hulk, made his first appearance in the post-credits scene of She-Hulk.
Battleworld serves as the central setting in Marvel’s Secret Wars comics, where different realities collide. The original storyline featured distinct territories ruled by various characters across the patchwork planet. A Hulk-dominated zone would fit naturally within that framework for the film adaptation.
Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed any Hulk-related plans for Secret Wars at this stage. Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters in May 2026, with Secret Wars following in May 2027. Fans will likely learn more about the Hulk characters’ roles as production details continue to surface.
